The other laughed heartily. ri sup
pose having girls of ores one makes all
the difference; don't mind their chat

otherwise. If this young woman is any

world"
"The very thing 1 wanted TO ask you,
exclaimed Gen. Biddulph. Whom did
DAILY marry?"
"She was the only daughter OF Bruno
you remember him out in Cashmere.
Itmust be-let me see, continued Col
Goodwin, leaning back in his chair and
musing; ut must be about twenty or
twenty-one years ago since saw her.
She was the most lovely girl, with a
face like an angels"
The generals face frightened.
"Daly fell hopeless victim, and IL
return think she loved him, passion
ateIy He was nearly distraugbt when
she died. The girl must be just the
Age her mother was when ] first met
her"
The generals hand stole UNCONSCIOUS
" to his gray mustache. And you say
Mrs. DAILY was very lovely?" he asked,
glancing for the first time at the mirror.
The breakfast had certainly refreshed
him.
Very" emphatically.
"Ah. we'll, perhaps it may not be so
bad. Druce DAILY was good-looking
man"
He was, indeed, responded Colonel
Goodwin. Let me know when the girl
arrives; 1 should like to see her, so I
am sure would my wife. Ifshe gets be-
yond you, pack her off to Combewau to
play with my girls"
Thanks Are you going to Spen-
GERS? will come with you; I must
speak to him about my new mare"
Somehow the news crept out. When
Gen. Biddulph took his stroll in the
park few days later, he was greeted by
sly hints and tender inquiries after his
ward. Fair faces beamed on him. and
pretty lips murmured kind promises to
take the young stranger in hand and
show her life. He began to shine with
q reflected glory. Miss Daily, accord
ing to Col. Godwin's authority, must be
beauty, and-this was gently whispered
it was we'll known Druce DAILY had
dollars collected in goodly numbers.
The ne'er-do- wells and out-of-pocket
young men exhibited an extraordinary
consideration for the generals welfare4
They were always dropping in upon
him unawares nc withstanding the
grimness of Scott and the unmistakable
frigidity of their welcome. Every
morning Gen. Biddulph eagerly
searched his letters in quest of some
dispatch informing him of the arrival of
his ward, and he called twice day re-
gular at Charges street only to receive
the intelligence that Mrs. Comyns and
Miss DAILY had not yet arriv ed"
A week had elapsed since he received
Maj. Days letter, and still no tidings
had come, Contrary winds or recall
citrant engines had delayed the P. & o.
with its fair freight, and the general
was beginning TO be uneasy. At last
one morning he was grati1ied when he
called at the house by the announce
ment that "the ladies we're expected
that evening.
Now that the actual moment was ap-
preaching when he should come face to
face with the much-thought-of, much
talked-of ward, he found himself actu-
ally nervous and excited. Scott, who
had received thenews with stolid silence,
gazed with astorishment at the specta-
Gle Of his master, fdgeting actually
fidgeting from the window to the arm
chair, like the yeriest school boy. The
generals mind during the unusual mi
grations presented brilliant panorama
Of future success. He saw vssta Of
long social triumphs in which he shared
largely. Then he fell to thinking what
the queen Of all these joys would be
like; tall and stately, small and fragile
blue, gray, brown, black eyes; complex
ion as fair as lily or dusky as the pro-
verbal berry: Cleopatra or Gretch-
en-, soft as a ball Of down or sturdy
as the Morse daughters. One thing, al
any rate, he was certain of: she would
be young With hfe's spring dawning
on her cheek, how could she be aught
but charming2 1t is wonderful how 4
man like the general, who had lived Sc
many years and had so much experience
could have made this mistake. Pigs
beauty is all very well; but youth il
more than often connected with indif-
erent skins, lengthy limbs and gawkJ
forms generally DESTROYS of wrigglinp
out Of their garments. His wishes in
this case we're father to the picture, and
he ended by starting to welcome the
traveller with the personiication Of fe
male lovliness before his eyes.
He knocked briskly at the door il
Charges street and smiled benignly on
the man who opened is and preceded
